Who kills iago?
Othello tries to, but fails. Iago is captured by the Venusian police and taken off to be tortured to death
What led to Othello's downfall?
Iago's plotting. Othello was susceptible to the particular line of attack taken by Iago, because Iago was a genius in spotting people's weaknesses and exploiting them. Othello was secretly unsure of his ability to command love in Desdemona, and so was easily persuaded that she did not love him. But if he had a different weakness, Iago would have exploited that just as effectively. Iago had no difficulty getting Cassio discharged just by knowing that he had a bad head for liquor.
What is a summary of Othello?
Othello is a General that lives in Italy(Venice), but is a Moor. Traditionally that means he is black while everyone else is white. He is very respected and marries on of the leading families daughters. Iago is one of his most trusted lieutenants, but after great victories Othello decides to promote someone else. Iago then begins a scheme to get power. First he brings down his other rivals for power. Then he seeks revenge on Othello. To do so he starts scandals almost on a whim and makes everyone distrust one another. Including Othello and his wife. Side note: Othello has epilepsy and no one must know or they will think him weak or possesed. Iago forces Othello to smother his wife and all of his rivals to die, yet in the end He loses his own life in his web of lies. One of the most Ironic things about Othello is Iago the most wicked liar coins the term (I wear my heart upon my sleeve.) Meaning he does not decieve. Iago makes the top ten most evil fictional villains ever.
What is Othellos tragic flaw?
Othello's tragic flaw would most likely be his jealousy. This was brought on by simple persuasion by the character Iago. Even though Iago used extreme manipulation to get Othello to be jealous, Iago did not really have to try very hard to get Othello in a jealous state of mind. Othello was blinded by his jealousy which led him down a path of constant questioning of his wife and his friend/officer, Cassio. Throughout the play we see Othello sink deeper and deeper into a cloud of doubt which eventually leads him to kill not only his wife but also himself. So it can be said that Othello's jealousy and inability to see past it remains the reason for his downfall. An alternative interpretation, which if memory serves me was first suggested by James Joyce, is that Othello's tragic flaw was loss of faith in life, and not jealousy. Othello was clearly not a jealous man, as evidenced by the difficulty Iago had in convincing him of Desdemona's unfaithfulness - something Othello would never have dreamed of. The tragedy was that he allowed lies to undermine his faith in life - his entire world view. In doing so, he destroyed that which he loved most.
Why is Othello gullible and easily fooled?
He is not. Every other character in the play, without exception, considers Iago to be honest and trustworthy. Cassio lets Iago trick him into drinking more than he should, and then immediately trusts him again when Iago tells him to go to Desdemona. Is he gullible and easily fooled? Roderigo is conned again and again out of his money by Iago for a purpose anyone could tell was a waste of time. Again and again Roderigo is taken in by Iago. Iago even fools his wife (who by this point ought to know better) in the matter of the handkerchief. Emilia does not think it suspicious enough to tell Desdemona, unfortunately. As for Othello, Iago knows that Othello cannot be easily fooled. If Othello were so foolish, Iago could have told him his wife was unfaithful, and he would have believed it. No, instead, Iago only plants the idea in Othello's mind, saying all along that he doesn't believe it. He plays on Othello's humility, his concern that a man of his age, background and race could have few attractions for a girl like Desdemona. And so Othello starts to wonder, to doubt, to worry, not because he is gullible but because he is humble. But he doesn't right off believe it. He's not Claudio from Much Ado. "Give me the ocular proof!" he demands. Are these the words of a gullible man? Iago is a very skillful psychological manipulator. Nobody is immune to his techniques. Nobody. Othello is not a gullible man. Iago is an evil genius.
